LIFE PLAN COMMUNITIES ARE FOR THOSE WHO CARE THE MOST

For couples who have spent a lifetime together, a Life Plan Community offers an especially attractive structure. Should one spouse need the services provided in another part of our community, the other can easily visit any time of day without ever having to worry about navigating roads, unfavorable weather or an unfamiliar staff. Our couples share meals, favorite activities, and the pleasure of each other’s company while knowing their loved ones are receiving the services they need to thrive and maintain as much independence as possible.

INCLUDING THOSE YOU CARED FOR

Families, especially children helping with decisions for their senior parents, are attracted to our Life Plan Community for the wide variety of conveniences and amenities available. As a loved one’s condition progresses and he or she moves through different levels of care, our staff works closely with the resident, the family members, and resident physicians to ensure the most appropriate care is received.

As a leading Life Plan Community in Birmingham, and one of the few offering all four levels of senior care, you and your family can meet whatever comes your way while living in the community you’ve come to love.

From residents to caregivers, those who call our community home can best describe the Kirkwood by the River experience. Hear in their own words what it is about our community that most spoke to them. Listen.
